No Mr Bond, I expect you to quilt

[Behr]

I love my DBS, and I love the James Bond connection it has. I guess I was always predestined to buy a Casino Royale coloured one. I love it, my kids love it. Hell - even my wife loves it.

I remember watching the film and thought to myself "one day I am going to have one of those".

Whilst I'm not a die hard Bond bufty or OEM homo, I do like things 'just so' and am a little anal when it comes to quality and originality. The point I'm coming to is that I have a hankering to change my door cards to the quilted leather as seen in the Bond car in Casino Royale. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to build in a glovebox defibrillator or roll it going the wrong way round the Alpine circuit at Millbrook - I really can't explain it.

Should I go to the back of the room?

Just as the DBS Ultimate Edition has them! Go for it, I;m going to do it. Puts the interior in a different league of luxury. Astons are 'Super Grand Tourers', not lightweight sports cars. Enjoy the speed with a bit of luxury

I think the quilted interiors look great - I've seen it on the DBS ultimate and it looks even better than the pictures. I was thinking of doing a similar thing myself.

KarlFranz did a DIY on his - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

... and AMDBSNick's interior looks amazing - http://www.pistonheads.com/Gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

May be worth asking Nick for contact info for whomever did his, they did a really professional job ...

It was one of the first things I noticed when I saw the car in the bond film and loved it. I've not seen it in ages, but I thought the door cards were alcantara and not leather? Either way, you should go for it mate.
